FRONTPAGEWOO.

Golly this's bin on my PC for a while. I came up with the idea late 2007:http://www.newgrounds.com /bbs/topic/803994
I dragged it up again for the MaxGames contest.

THANK JESUS FOR THE MUSIC AUTHORS. This game is pretty shit without audio. About 75% of it's all downloadable for free on the left o the screen there, all Newgrounds Audio artists. Check out 8bitpeoples.com for the rest, it's a damn treasure trove. Also this is the first time I've made my own sound effects for a game. PRETTY SLICK.

Also hey, be aware that this game'll save your progress. All the money, times and stages you've unlocked will be saved so you can come back to it later. Magic init? I remember back in my day- We didn't even have gradients! And you had to type 58 lines of script just to make a movie stop.

Oh, and I've ran out of money. So if you could all vote five on this one, that'd be grand.

UPDATE: I THINK I FIXED THE MAJOR GLITCH? I'M SO FUCKED RIGHT NOW IT'S 4:40 AM ARRRRG.

Nice idea

But there is a glaring issue: Press shift, the level restarts(?) and the music starts again overtop of the already playing music making the sound unbearable. Nice idea, just needs some 'proofing' before it gets put out publicly.

Well, it's a good game. I somehow managed to complete all of the levels. I put the somehow in there because this game is SOOOOOOOO buggy.

I'll give the creator a list so he can better the game.

1: If you ever go off a lift (thing that sends you flying diagonally), and keep holding which ever direction you're going, once you run into a wall you'll be sent flying to the top of the ledge. Even if that happens to be the top of the level. And once on the top you can effectively freeze the entire game.

2: In the level "Shaft", on the slope to the left, if you jump in the right place, you can freeze the game. Same goes for the first slope on the right. Except, in reverse: if you DONT jump at the right time you will possibly freeze the game. Apparently people have had this problem also.

3: The last level "Credits" is SO buggy, that I'm surprised I beat it. Well, actually only one spot on the level doesn't work, but it's SUCH a bother: there's this one block that is, I'm guessing, supposed to be hidden, and when you press a button it slides out. For me it started out closing the area off, so when you went up the series of notches in the wall to the block, you would either be sent to the left a while, or sent to the top of the block.
The first couple of times I did this, I got sent to the left, and on the third time I got sent directly above the block. Besides that I had no more problems with the level.

4: The shift key. As RemmK mentioned, if you press the shift key, you'll be "dropped" out of the level. For me, it sent me to the previous level. And if I held it, it would rapidly cycle through them, until it reached the end and "beyond". At which point the game would (you guessed it!) freeze.

5: Sometimes when I entered a level one or more of my guys would start out in the "hanging on a ledge" position. One could just jump out of this. So it's not that bad.

Besides all of these things, I really like the game, and I think you should make a sequel. (Preferably with an "exit level" button.)
